Total Commander also includes a tabbed interface and a versatile multi-rename tool with regular expression support. The program is extensible by programmers via an open plugin-API. And it has the ability to bind external programs for viewing or editing files. Many plugins are freely available for e.g. different packer formats or file viewer for special file formats.

As well, a large variety of internal functions (commands) are available and ready to assign to icons. Although some study might be needed to discover them.

Additionally, Total Commander can be made portable via a special installer for USB and U3 disks.
